Music: "Friendship" - Annie Burbank

Today we hear from local musician Gavin Bowles. Raised in the lower Blue Mountains and now living in the Penrith area, music has been a lifelong passion for Gavin.

Throughout this conversation, Gavin shares his perspective as a full time musician - providing an honest reflection of his pursuit. Speaking with Gavin, it reinforced to me that for any creative the path is not linear, nor is it easy. 

Through the release of his latest album, with his band Gavin Bowles and the Distractions, the music Gavin shares features powerful messages, delivered through upbeat and catchy tunes.
